The Rangers announced on Twitter Monday morning that left wing Pavel Buchnevich suffered a broken thumb in Saturday’s 5-4 shootout win over the Blue Jackets and will be sidelined 4-6 weeks.
Buchnevich, 23, has five goals and four assists in 14 games on the season, and had been playing well since returning from a two-game benching at the end of the team’s recent trip to California. In his last four games, he had two goals and two assists, including a goal and an assist in the game against Columbus.
